PRECISION IRRIGATION USING INTEGRATED INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS

Agriculture, the backbone of Indian economy, contributes to the overall economic growth of the country and determines the standard of life for more than 50% of the Indian population. Irrigation consumes more than 80% of the total water use in the country thereby requiring systems to build decision support systems (DSS) to overcome the problem of water wastage and deficit. In general, this paper presents an Intelligent System as an alternative and efficient way to solve the farming resources optimization and decision making. Precision agriculture systems based on the Internet of Things (IOT) technology is explained in detail especially on the hardware and network architecture and software process control of the precision irrigation system. The system collect, analyse and monitors data from the sensors in a feedback loop which activates the control devices based on pre-calculated threshold value
